Santa comes three times for SD5. He came to our house last year, to BM's house, AND to SD5's biological dad's house.
Santa comes two times for SS3. He comes to BM's house and ours.
My son (with DF) will have one Santa visit.
How do we make this fair?
How do any of you deal with this?
My parents and sister live 3 hours away from my home that I share with my fiance and his two children. I would like to be able to open gifts with both families, but due to BM's flakiness, I have no idea if I can make it happen. You can never plan anything with her because she "forgets" if you tell her too far in advance. We have no idea if she is going to pick up the kids on Xmas or not. We could plan to leave for my parents' in the afternoon and she very well may never show up. It's so frustrating!!
Its true. I'll admit it.
I admire his obvious respect for his wife. His obvious love for his son (which is how he refers to his SS). His, no bullshit advice. His wisdom.
SS17 refuses to talk about his college decision and DH doesnt' want to brng it up because it stresses his baby boy out....are you Fn kidding me???
I contacted a couple colleges a week or so back about information in ss's very limited area of interest in school. Wednesday night DH told me to just let SS17 figure out his future himself, he's been ungrateful and unappreciative and to just let him take control for a while of his future.

Basically, BM has accused my SO of trying to sleep with her twice.
Today, I am still so confused and so hurt that I'm almost numb. You know, that pain like a gunshot wound that is so severe the body goes numb to preserve itself, that's how I feel today.
I started with what I thought was going to be a WWYD question, but it's probably going to turn into a vent. A little history: DH has custody of his two teenage children. Their mom moved 1/2 way across the country when custody was changed from mom to dad. She up and left her husband at the time (not my DH, her 3rd husband) to move in with a boyfriend.
This is my first time writing and I must admit I feel a little self conscious, but I am at my wits end and could use a little advice. I live with my partner of 7 years and her 17 and 12 year old BDs. I have 2 adopted children of my own who are not here all the time (from a previous relationship) My 17 year old SD is a straight A student, has a job is very active in school and a good kid. She has been living with us fulltime becasue she can;t stand being at her BFather's house. Unfortunately she is a slob.
My SS5 has some speech and social issues that I don't know how to handle. He is in a special kindergarten to help deal with the issues, but I am at the end of my rope at home.
:?
Slightly confused on what to do with BM.
Lately BM has been super nice. I mean SCARY nice, overly polite, friendly, the whole nine yards (with the occasional small "lets talk about getting back together" thrown in). It has actually been kinda unsettling with how nice she is, but we've been friendly right back.
ANYWAYS.
I need to vent for a minute or two before FH comes home.
The month of November was very difficult for us financially, and this month wasn't looking so hot either. FH is a car salesman and is on commision only, and I have had a difficult time finding a full time job. When FH recieves a check, 60% is automatically taken out until CS ($667) is paid. It's tough, especially when it's so slow that it takes him all month just to barely have the CS paid.
